No, they can't

Can you call 999 from a pay-as-you-go mobile phone that has run out of credit? What about one whose keypad is locked? Or doesn't have a SIM card?

Yes, you don't need credit because calls to 999 or 112 are free. It's part of the design of phones that these numbers can be called even if the phone is locked. Some people think that 999 calls can be made from a phone without a SIM. In fact, because of the high number of hoax calls, the United Kingdom decided to block emergency calls from mobile phones without a SIM card.
